Imagine if Adam cut back on the screaming, the clothes, and ugly hair styled and formed a pop/rock BAND, with pop/rock musicians, and no more working with bubblegum pop / rap producers? Then he’d have something great going for him. His fans should tell him to form a band. It’s what he needs! I’ve noticed the song writers he works with basically give him filler. He’d be so much better off in a band with actual musicians who enjoy writing music. I’ve noticed some of Adam’s hardcore fans don’t enjoy some of his new stuff... but still they push to promote it with more streams and more YouTube views (just read AdamTopia). If you’re not enjoying it, why promote it? Someone needs to steer Adam in the right direction. He has potential. |

My two cents. I just think the dude is a pop singer and really hasn't had all the traditional underpinnings of a songwriter. It's not just the fact that he's a studio product for a giant media biz, It's just the way it is. But hey, Bill Withers and Otis Redding both got late starts in their singing/writing. Who the hell knows Just bored and trying to respond amicably without jokes ...maybe he'll front BAD COMPANY whenever Paul Rodgers retires. |

It’s almost as if right now, he doesn’t give a fuck on what kind of music he creates. There’s not much thought into it. He could absolutely release good music with the right songwriters and someone to guide him in the right direction. People say Adam tries not to be Freddie, but in my opinion, he does what he does while performing with Queen because of Freddie. The theatrics, holding long notes. It’s as if he tries too hard, and now it’s just expected. |

This album is what he wanted to make and whether other people like it or not he's happy with it, the people he worked with didn't give him filler they worked WITH him and he chose how he wanted things to sound so the buck stops with him, he wasn't given songs to make the best of from a record label this time it's all down to him so if you think it's rubbish fair enough you just don't like his vision or style of songs/singing. And as I've pointed out before he couldn't form a band even if he wanted to while he's working with Brian & Roger, no band would be willing to wait around and only work here and there while he went off touring with QAL, he'd have to commit to it 100% and he couldn't do that currently. I personally couldn't see him doing that anyway but it's not an option at the moment. |

Ok so Adam Lambert does need to get a band together and stop making himself famous because of Queen. He needs to get decent song writers in to write hi a decent tune as his albums are clueless and he has no musical direction whatsoever. I have been saying this for years Lambert is so insecure he will not branch out on his own he is constantly reliant on Queen to make him a name. |

Sniffy, SweetCaroline, and Rockchic will tell us how much they have loved them since day one. I like odd songs off Trespassing (Chokehold) is my favourite but I actually prefer him doing most stuff live than the studio versions tbh, he changes stuff up more live and obviously having real instruments is better than the over processed versions on the albums, at least for me. I never heard Two Fux live but I really don't like the recorded version, not a song I ever took to at all. His new album is very different to the other stuff he's done, mostly real instruments rather than electronic and I do like the funky bass on most of the songs but the two ballads are my favourites (Closer To You and Feel Something). |

I'd love his next album to be more rock based personally but I guess we'll just see what he comes up with, my bet is he'll put out odd songs here and there over the next year or so rather than work on another album straight away. |

Lambert is not doing himself any favours been stuck in Queen, because that will stick with him now forever and lets face it he has blew his solo career away now because of it. He is clueless as to what type of music is him. If he just stuck to been original and stop trying to be other people in his songs and get decent song writers in maybe he will go top 20 in the Uk singles chart! |
| brENsKi 28.03.2020 10:01 |
SaddleBrownwhy should YOU give a flying fuck "what favours he's doing himself? you've often said how much you hate him. Oh, Gerry has spoken and AL will heed his pearls of jizzdom? SaddleBrownutterly clueless comment. sorry but it is. succeeding someone else in a major rock back does not harm someone's career. Bon Scott >> Brian Johnson = AC/DC went from being a popular rock band to becoming biggest rock band on planet Ian Gillan >> David Coverdale = Coverdale went on to front Whitesnake - who were huge worldwide Ozzy Osbourne >> Ronnie Dio = leaves Rainbow, joins Sabbs, successful, forms own band - more commercial success. Also, while we're on this topic - people can also break with what they know - venture elsewhere and be successful - often more so. All FOUR Beatles >> were successful after 1970 - ALL earning much more in the 1970s than they ever did during the 1960s (while in the world's biggest band) Ozzy Osbourne >> has been much more successful solo than he ever was in Sabbath. - 30+ years of record sales and tours. Peter Gabriel >> he left Genesis, chose his own career path - enjoyed much greater success than 1970s Genesis - without "selling out" like 80s Genesis in the process. Sammy Hagar >> singer in two big rock bands - but has enjoyed success solo. Robert Plant >> doing so well/enjoying his non-Zep projects, that in 2014 he reportedly tore up a proposed $800m contract to reform Zep. - yep - the second biggest grossing rock act of all time. There is no stigma, and it doesn't necessarily "commit" the artist to only ever doing one thing. Some artists are happy to stay where they are, others do spread their wings. SaddleBrownseriously? not a bit of it. he's happy doing what he's doing - he's earning a nice living doing what he loves - singing. i wouldn't call that "clueless" - "clued up" more like SaddleBrownhere you go again, Gerry. you don't ever stop to think before hitting your keyboard do you? he is being original. he is being himself. you've spent forever slagging the guy off - calling him a "fat tranny", "tw*t", "talent-less clown" and similar, and NOW you claim he could have top 20 hits with decent song-writers. you contradict yourself - by conviently ignoring your own historical commentary. |

Pretty sure the dates signify FM's birthdate. But may be misconstrued owing to the differing ways dates are spelled er represented in different countries. Here it's day/month/year while in much of the UK and abroad it can be month/day/year And for data retention I've seen it year/day/month. Anyways prob last comment here.
